The birds both that beneficial and noxious were surveyed in the newly reclaimed and old lands at Sohag Governorate during two successive years (2014/2015 and 2015/2016). 13 beneficial bird species in the studied area. 13 beneficial bird species were found to be: Barn owi, Black winged kite, cattle egret, common bulbul, fantailed warbler, hoopoe, kestrl, little owi, spur winged plover, swallow, and Yellow wagtail, chiffchaff and white wagtail. And 8 noxious bird species in the studied area. The noxious bird species were: crested lark, hooded crow, house sparrow, little green bee, moorhen, palm dove, pied kingfisher and rock dove. The all bird species in the present study were 21 species of to 20 genera, 16 families and 9 orders. INRODUCTION Birds dominated the air and managed to invade a lot of different environments, whether land or water environment, due to the anatomy and morphological structure. As well as birds are from the rest of animals that make the existence of factions in the movement of a permanent and continuous environment to another, but from country to country and to the far left found that breeding and nesting places, and moving to another continent in the so-called migratory birds. For example, white wagtail, Motacilla alba alba bird, who came to Egypt in the winter and spring seasons, (EL-Danasory 2002 and Omar 2005).

Agricultural ornithology aims at obtaining scientific information on birds in relation to agriculture and using this information for their management. Most of bird species play a useful role in agriculture by having a potent check on insect and rodent pests. However, some gramnivorous bird species, having adapted to the agricultural habitats and increased in numbers, are conflicting with our
